Dear Maintainer,

My updated understanding is that this issue was fixed[1] in version 5.0.0 of
Sphinx.

I've documented[2] the process I followed using 'git bisect' to determine when
the fix was introduced (between versions 4.5.0 and 5.0.0 of sphinx).

Since my previous comment, the (I now believe, incorrect) changeset that I'd
forwarded to resolve the problem in more recent Sphinx versions was accepted,
so I've offered an explanation and revert changeset that I hope may be
acceptable before the upcoming 6.2.0 release.

Although it could be time-consuming to understand and verify my findings, if
someone has time to do that then I'd be grateful (I've confused myself a few
times while working on this bug, and I don't trust my findings enough yet to
close it).

Thank you,
James
